The python-minimal package *should* use that libffi. I'm not sure why
it's failing now.

Do you mean if CONFIG_SHELL is not set, so the build process can't find
libffi?

There is also the question about zlib and the bundled pip: why is it
failing now?

I haven't yet found the changes between 2.7.12 and 2.7.13 that are
causing these issues.
